Statewide tornado drill scheduled for Tuesday, March 11

Every Hoosier business, school, and family should participate in the statewide tornado drill each year. The drill allows you to practice where to go, what to do, and what to take so you are prepared in the event of a real tornado warning.

At about 10:15 a.m. Eastern on Tuesday, March 11, 2025, National Weather Service (NWS) will issue a test tornado warning alert, which will be shared through most notification systems, including the statewide Emergency Alert System (EAS).

Wherever you are at that time, practice your tornado safety plan. There will be no follow-up alerts issued by the NWS to mark the end of the statewide tornado drill. It ends when your business, school, or family feels that you have adequately practiced your safety procedures.
